The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles per hour for the imperial crew. Let's be honest, this outlook for Kennebunk Beach is a stinker. The finder has zero recommendations, and the guidance file only shows the one break, so we're stuck with it. It’s one of those classic flat spells that can hit this sheltered stretch of coast.
On Monday, August 3rd, there's a bump of swell – about 7ft from the SSE – but it's being shredded by a 30 mph cross-onshore wind from the SSW, and the period is a weak 7 seconds. The combined energy is 456, which is moderate, but with that wind and short period, it's a mess. That's a kite-surfing afternoon, not a paddling one.
From Tuesday the 4th all the way through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s a total flat spell. Wave heights barely get above 3ft, and mostly sit between 0.7ft and 2ft. Periods are consistently short, between 4 and 10 seconds. The combined energy numbers are all in the double digits (15, 29, 43, etc.), which means weak, gutless energy.
There are a few nice windows of glassy conditions on the mornings of the 6th and 7th, and some clean offshore breezes on the 12th, 14th, and 15th. But with the swell at just 0.7ft or 1ft, it doesn't matter how clean it looks. There's nothing to ride.
The water temp is about 65°F, which is pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
So, there you have it. A long, dry stretch of nothing. It happens here. Don't waste your time driving down. Wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
